Singapore Cheap Accomodation under US$50
Singapore Cheap Accomodation under SGD50 are usually dormintory style backpackers accomodation located mainly around the Chinatown, little India and Geylang areas. With the increase in competition among the backpacker inn accommodation in Singapore, most of these hostels are quite well run with good facilities.
Many of these Backpackers accomodation offer private rooms as well if you prefer some privacy for your family and the rates are still pretty cheap well under or around the US$50 budget.
If you go for the $10-$20 range, rooms are usually cubicle-like, cramped, often windowless and facilities are invariably shared.
We have not stayed in any backpacker inn in Singapore before, but with some research done, we list below some of those which have received good reviews from other travellers.

Some of the Singapore cheap accomodations are located near the Geylang area. Geylang is Singapore's famous red light district so the budget accomodations there can be a little sleazy as some of them rent out room on a two-hours basis and may turn around a room 5 times a day. You may want to check on that before you make any booking.
On the other hand, Geylang is also a place with lots of character and there are many good eateries along the main street Geylang Road. If you ever visit this area, try the popular Lorong 9 Beef Kway Teow (broad noodles).
My family has recently found out you can order the beef Kway Teow from MongKok Dim Sum (214, Geylang Road Lorong 8) which is just across the street from the noodles shop as both shops are under the same management. Mongkok Dim Sum eatery is considerably less crowded compared to Lorong 9 Beef Kway Teow shop so effectively, you can enjoy use the dinning area of Mongkok to enjoy the beef kway Teow from across the road :)
